LYNX

Fire Investigation System

Overview

Lynx Fire is a new software application designed to form relationships between all the pieces of information gathered during a fire investigation.

Lynx Fire allows the fire service to manage incidents, nominals, addresses, vehicles, witnesses, statements, evidence and many other records. Links between records can be represented graphically and associations revealed to give greater insight to the fire investigator.

System Benefits

Today's fire services require more efficient and streamlined software, where they can retrieve information as and when they need it.

In particular, fire investigators need to be aware of the vital clues in the links between the various reports

Lynx Fire aims to cater for these requirements by:

  • Providing a central resource for data relating to a particular incident or investigation.

  • Affording excellent timeline and charting facilities, including the ability to construct links using the graphical user interface.

  • Including task management facilities to make sure that each person involved is aware of their roles, duties and deadlines.

We believe that Lynx Fire will provide a cost-effective, easy-to-implement tool for the management of fire investigation operations.

Its ability to analyse patterns of behaviour and uncover associations makes it an invaluable source of intelligence.

Lynx Fire grants optional access to Ferret, our document management system, thus saving on office space and working towards a paperless office.

Overall, Lynx Fire is a highly analytic and "intelligent" package that enables resources to be targeted effectively.
